Look, people, if Monty Python’s “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” isn’t playing at my funeral, I’m going to:
a. Be highly disappointed in you, and
b. Will have made arrangements to have a special certificate, suitable for framing, delivered to you that declares you to be an “Official Disappointment.”
Important Disclaimer: I am not currently dying at a pace that is concerning.
I believe that the best way to determine how someone is going to treat you is to watch how they treat other people. I believe that more manufacturers should work toward selling items that can be repaired in a home workshop — and that the trend toward making goods disposable has really harmed the tinkerer/manufacturer … Read more

Holy shit, what a fucking fantastic weekend. Coming into Wednesday, I was thinking I was going to be seeing Rogue One and watching the Vikings on Sunday.
As it turned out, I wound up winning a pair of tickets to the Vikings/Colts game via my new employer. So: game in the new stadium, box seats, unlimited food/drink. Pimp ass tickets. I decided to extend the first invitation to my buddy Josh, whom I’ve known since my second sophomore year of college. He lives in Colorado and I don’t get to see the guy often enough. I was hoping he’d be home/in-town for the weekend. That wasn’t in the cards, but apparently, buying a last-minute plane ticket was. He’d be flying in on Saturday and arriving just before my Rogue One plans.
God, what a fucking shit year. As a whole, I would love to drag it out in the alley, beat it until it begged for death, and then put a bullet in it.[ref]Too much? Or too soon?[/ref] Violent metaphor aside, I guess I’d just like a do-over on 2016, because reality as taken a walk off the fucking map.
P.S.: Fuck you, 2016, you heartless piece of shit.
The NES Classic is so popular because it reminds us of a time where THERE WEREN’T FUCKING NAZIS IN THE GODDAMNED WHITE HOUSE.
